Metallurgical Coal Origination
CCR focuses on identifying and advancing potential Appalachian metallurgical coal supply opportunities through producer/source discussions and an understanding of buyer requirements.
Producers & sources
Bring an Appalachian coal source to market
CCR welcomes discussions concerning Appalachian metallurgical coal supply opportunities. Source location, coal characteristics, preparation arrangements, potential volumes and timing, and transportation options provide a useful starting point.
Tell us your relationship to the source and the commercial opportunity you would like to explore. Initial discussions can establish what information and further evaluation may be needed.
Domestic & international buyers
Start with the supply requirement
CCR welcomes discussions with domestic and international steelmakers, coke producers, traders and other qualified coal buyers regarding potential Appalachian supply requirements.
Product specifications, intended use, required volume, delivery location and timing provide the basis for considering whether a source may be relevant.
Commercial fit
The coal and the delivery requirements must work together
- Coal rank and product type, ash, sulfur and volatile matter in relation to buyer specifications and intended use, with coking characteristics such as fluidity considered where relevant.
- Preparation arrangements and product consistency, alongside available or potential volume and production timing, to assess whether a source can meet the required supply schedule.
- Transportation options and loadout arrangements, delivery location and delivery basis, and how these affect cost and the practicality of supply.
- The parties involved, their roles and the information needed to advance discussions.
